MCC-Longview hosted debaters from Manchester, England, who are touring the States and bring a totally unique variety and style of debate. The Englishmen debated Longview’s team October 1, 2009 in the Cultural Arts Center.
The English debaters are Dan Bradley and Andrew Tuffin, both graduates of the University of Manchester, and both veterans of the trade. For Bradley it wasn’t his first time in the United States. He studied in Idaho for a summer.
“Longview was one of the best audiences we’ve had so far,” he said. “It was a great turn out, and the audience seemed to enjoy the debate and actually paid attention.”
Tuffin said he is a newcomer. “This is my first time in America, and it’s totally wicked. We’re being well taken care of and the variety in America, it’s wicked. Just the variety is so amazing,” he said.
